### 󠀁[Amazing plugin, just needed a CSS snippet to make it more fun](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/amazing-plugin-just-needed-a-css-snippet-to-make-it-more-fun/)󠁿

Thank you for this AMAZING plugin! It works really well. I made the CSS snippet 
below to customize it a little bit. Btw, I noticed that when you’re filling a word,
and then, erase a letter, the row is still green. With this snippet, the row is 
yellow so you know something’s wrong. Hope this snippet will be useful for someone
else! 🙂 /** * Customize the crossword */ .wha-square.wha-letter.wha-first div.wha-

when you write the letters, you didn’t have to click ENTER to move to the next box.
Right after you write a letter, you should be automatically redirected to the next
box. Thank you so much for this plugin! Cheers,

Perfect for making crossword puzzles. I appreciate plugins like this which are completely
contained within the wordpress site, as opposed to so many fake plugins that only
hyperlink you to some other site where the actual puzzle is. Thanks for making and
sharing!

Setup the crossword settings and added to my page. Only the clues showed up on the
page, the actual crossword puzzle didn’t appear. Inspecting it I found there were
empty script and style tags where the shortcode was supposed to be loading stuff,
but it just wasn’t being loaded on the page.

### 󠀁[The best Crossword I’ve used](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-best-crossword-ive-used/)󠁿

I REALLY need Crosswords for our students, I wish there was a paid version of this
plugin so they could include some characteristics I would like to have. I would 
happily pay for this plugin, I’ve paid for others that don’t really work. Thanks,
great job, I hope you can keep it up.
